Basses you have a bad hankering for...

View attachment 4128108 View attachment 4128107 Man, these Nash basses have really created the GAS in these parts. Lockdown bass browsing has a lot to answer for...

Just a simple Mapleglow Rickenbacker 400x S model. It's not a particularly rational thing to want, but I want one.

Who makes these?

How much are these?
Looks excellent!

Maruszczyk basses. Check their web site below. Top shelf quality (yes, on par with the big names like Sad/ Lakland/ AC and others, many of which I have owned...still have/love my 34" custom Lakland USA). Built in Poland so labour cost is low, sold out of Germany, just over the border. He offers a very wide variety of price points and options. I received a custom from him about a month ago.....had medium expectations, and all of them were far exceeded. I wanted a swanky Jag with P5 electronics....light/chambered/34"/19mm....it came in at 6.5 lbs, growls and like a ton . The model on order (in my earlier post) is called Joker.

1. US Geddy Lee. Currently back ordered, but I am getting one.
2. A while back I saw someone post a 5 string MIJ Aerodyne Jazz. It made me drool a bit. They're "not for export" and a little hard to find. Maybe someday.
3. Dingwall - Super J or AB2. This is more $ than I can justify, but... Something much like this:

1961 Fender Precision Bass in Fiesta Red finish with original hard shell case
From reverb, obviously no affiliation...Lol!

I love this bass, check out the pics...the neck must be butter, no no, bacon grease! The only thing this is missing is the cigarette burns on the headstock.

Cheers!

That can be added!

I love my Sandberg, but for some reason I can't get a MusicMan Stingray HH5 Special out of my head.

Thing is, once I get that, it will be an early 70's Jazz... Then I'll want a custom build... It never stops!

Don't get me started on amps.

Is that Trace Elliot? I haven't seen the "tele" type...!

yes, it's a T-bass in precision configuration, made for Trace Elliot by Status sometime in the 90's. It was a very limited production, maybe even just a handful of prototypes. I have seen a statement from the owner of Status (can't remember where...), saying they only built between 10 and 20 of these.
It has a piezo under the bridge, and two outputs, one for the split P alone, and one for the P+ piezo (not "stereo"). Every picture I have seen of one of these has been a yellow one, so i do not know if it came in other colors.
I really like how it fuses the traditional P/telebass with some rather modern features like piezo and the T-bass headstock.

I've already got enough basses . . . . .

This is arriving next Wednesday.
1955 Fender Precision, blonde contoured body, all original (even pick-guard) except for the control plate and knobs.
I am watching the tracking every couple hours!

Over the past weeks I have desperately been trying to develop GAS for another bass.
But I am afraid I am finished. Can't see any way to expand or improve my arsenal other then adding a Pbass... And I don't have enough grey hair for that yet.

[pcake]

I've wanted one for some time as well, but given that I've already got 2 black P's and a black J, I'm going to have a hard time justifying getting one unless I get a windfall of some sort. So I'm somewhat envious of yours.

i solved that be replacing most of my black basses with red and blue basses

okay, maybe it didn't go down quite like that, but it is how it mostly ended up...

 

[Jaycat]

I need one of these. Just wish they weren't so stodgy looking.

You quoted/repied to two of my posts, one is about a Fender. No?
So; the hollow dark bass is one of Adrians?
I know his basses quite well.

Excellent choice!

 

[Spectrum]

It will look like that except the pickup will be a Delano Xtender split coil, not the humbucker. Here's the garden of hankering (apologies in advance)....click custom shop, then "configurator" and .... hide your wallet......

That link is VERY dangerous. The fact that it's in Germany (I guess?) makes it easier to pass up. A little.

I have this Boxer 555 but I want to get a Duff McKagan blocked neck for it:

One of these would be nice too:

Edit: Oh yeah, and if this ever pops up for sale again:

 

[Greg Waldon]

Mouradian Reality. This would be my bucket list bass. I can always dream.

 

[N4860]

I've been looking for a Music Man Big Al SSS for a while and unfortunately, they don't come up for sale very often. There is one that went up on Reverb recently but it's got a pretty big crack along the back of the body.

 

[Element Zero]

There’s 2.
